Hangan/Heels/Copeland/Hanigan
Descendants of Hobart 1804

Contents

This Web site is for the ongoing research into the
descendants of John Hangan. There are many different
ways the family name is spelt, and there is even research to show that one branch
changed their name completely.

Following on from the work which was commenced by David
Noakes for the research of family members in First World War, I am starting the
collection of information for family members’ involvement in the Second World
War. Stories and any other information that you might have about any family
member, and their service during this conflict, or any other conflict, would be
appreciated.

Any Photographs taken during active service, or in Uniform,
would be appreciated. Research into records held at the War Memorial at
Canberra, and other areas will be carried out too. However, I’m inviting you to
contribute your memories, and those of your family. This new chapter of the
book will not completed in 12 months, but it will be an ongoing project. In
advance thank you for your help and contributions. Noel, Oct 2010.

- Photo collection. There are sets which are family research and others of my
direct family relations. There are sets of my childhood too.

On the First Saturday in November each year, a family BBQ
and get together is held at Dubbo. Bring along your own chairs, food, and
drinks, together with your stories and memories. This event is held Rain, hail
or shine. This event is Orgainsed by the Hagan
Families of Dubbo.

The location of the annual reunion is at Victoria Park,
Dubbo. Entrance is off Talbragar St. There is a lane
way off TALBRAGAR St, near the end of the Pool & Men’s Shed. Drive up to
end of the park.

The Electronic Book of the Family history is going through
some re-working.

The first section is complete! There are several more to go.

Please note. That this section of the First World War is the work of David
Noakes. All research and writing is his, and as such David is the holder
of the copyright. David has given permission for publication on this web site,
but asks anyone else who uses the information, to give the necessary credit to
David.

Also the Original work which was Compiled and Produced by
David Noakes, has over time been added to and
modified, but the creator is duly recognised.

Following finding of the Original Compact Disc

Although this electronic version of the Book is free to all,
all days and months have been made generic. The year is the only part of a date
which remains. I welcome people to submit changes, corrections, and updates. If
anyone has an interest in writing the World War Two, or other military records,
please let me know too. This book is what I call a living book. Changes can be
made as time goes on.

Following the request from contributors I removed dates. I
know I have to work through the publications to add back the dates where people
are deceased. Also I have placed the chapters in PDF so that you are able to
print without the fear of pages becoming out of alignment.

I remind you that the original document was compiled by
David Noakes, with the help of many individuals, and in no way do I take away
the acknowledgement of that work.
